paM Invites

mid June - mid September 2016

To coincide with the launch of paM - a map of associate contemporary art galleries, project and exhibition spaces in the Bermondsey area of Southwark, South London, Drawing Room has invited two of the galleries – CGP London and VITRINE London - to curate a drawer in Outset Study plan chest.

CGP London selected local artist John Walter. Walter's prolific practice incorporates performance, hospitality, painting, installation and drawing. His multi-faceted 'Maximalist' approach often tackles uncomfortable theoretical and socio-political investigations such as HIV as well as broader contemporary sexual politics via a seductive and sumptuous aesthetic. Last year's Alien Sex Club, a vast touring labyrinthine installation with performance, was an expansive, intoxicating installation style that CGP intend to push even further in 2017, where we are commissioning a new body of work, CAPSID, which will then tour to HOME, Manchester.

VITRINE London has selected the drawing made by McGilvary/White for the forthcoming exhibition Identify your limitations, acknowledge the periphery which opens on 12 July 2016. It is an ambitious group exhibition with site-specific works by 18 British and International artists that will look at the notions of limitations, instruction-based practice, and the role of the vitrine within exhibition making.
